Pros

Coworkers were awesome, they were fun to work with. Perks weren't bad, 50% off food. It would be a good summer job for highschoolers or college students but it would be difficult to balance the hours with schoolwork once school started again.

Cons

Incompetent managers and long hours. Always had to look busy so I don't get yelled at. Very poor training, I was trained by workers who had only been working for weeks. The managers did not bother training the new employees. For every 6 hours, you get 2 ten minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch.

Pros

There isn’t many pros about this company besides it helps you grow in a kitchen if trained properly.

Cons

Management is a joke, Teamwork is a joke. Manager’s will be on their phones while you’re only one cook in the back running everything and never offer to help and when they do it’s barely any. The higher ups will expect so much out of you and run you into the ground with work then wonder why you’re so burnt out. It doesn’t feel like a job but more like torture working here and that’s just a start of what goes on here.
